Customer ideas to inspire!

Our customers love to tell us their promotional product ideas, and we want to pass these great concepts on to you to help inspire your next promotion. The following ideas were used by actual businesses and organizations to get noticed, say thank you, spread awareness, motivate and more! Without further ado, here are several customer ideas:

Attention grabbers:Scott from Columbia used the upscale Kona Mug for his marketing efforts: “We upgraded our branding image and with that, upgraded our promotional supplies. We need to appeal to designers and architects, and want our promo items to reflect elegance, yet be a little on the fun side,” he said. Alexandra from San Mateo ordered promotional Sunglasses, Side Pocket Sportpacks, Lanyard USB Drives and additional products for giveaways “at various career fairs. This helped to attract people to our booth, make our company name more visible by providing products people will use and wear, and make the experience of meeting us more memorable,” she explained. Kelly from Westbury “debuted our new logo” with the Convertible Table Throw. Sue from Syracuse put the Happy Hub Guy to good use “for display at a tradeshow.”

Team apparel: Alvin from Tucson had praise for the Silk Touch Performance Sport Polo and said, “I just opened a bridge studio, Bridge Center of Greater Tucson. …They came in on time for my grand opening and I get compliments every day on them.” Bruce from Eau Claire chose the same shirt for his staff and stated, “Quality clothing makes employees look their best. It is very important to morale.” Tera from New Bern bought imprinted Nike® Performance Micro Pique Polos for her employees to wear and raved, “Very comfortable. No ironing needed.” Warm Gildan® 50/50 Hooded Sweatshirts were the choice for David from Springfield who shared, “We have employees that work outside and this was used as a motivational tool for them.”

Customer pleasers:Shanda from Tracy shared how she used our top-rated Swing USB Drive: “We load them with our company information and we handed them out to our top leads.” Julianne from Baton Rouge ordered a Swing USB drive, too: “We are a small company with many large competitors. Gifts like these give the impression that we are larger and more ‘sophisticated.’ …Going forward, we are putting together a ‘welcome pack’ for new clients. We will include a flash drive with regulations and manuals on it.” Deb from Deerfield bought printed Polar Fleece Beanies and “distributed to runners at a 5K fundraiser event.” Micah from Philadelphia used Value Stickers by the Roll to promote her brewery tour: “We ordered stickers to give away to current and future customers.”

Just for fun: Bev from Washington bought logo’d Original Bullet Lights and said, “We have fobs for entry into our VIP suite and this was a perfect add-on to complete our package.” Vicky from San Clemente used Beverage Napkins at a tasting event: “Being a tax business, this was quite unique placement and they all got used. This gave us access to multiple impressions to the attendees, since they were using them for food and drink purposes.” John from Washington explained his use of printed Blue Generation Bib Aprons: “Each year, we kick off our Employee Annual Giving Campaign with a chili cook-off and bake sale. I use the aprons as a thank-you gift for the cooks and bakers.” Cynthia from Kingsville ordered Cork Coaster Sets: “We’re known as the department with swag! Everyone knows that when we have an event, there will be great items. This helps us bring people in the doors!”
